Abstract

With its strong opening to the tourist market and subsequent to becoming one of the 28 capital cities in the European Union, Zagreb has become a fast growing tourist destination according to the usual key standards applied to tourist growth. With its rich heritage and attractive events, Zagreb has become a very interesting destination for tourists whose consumption habits may present the local real property owners and investors with an opportunity to invest in tourist accommodation or other tourist facilities in the city. This process will also bring inevitable societal changes to the inner city, the areas in Zagreb from which local residents depart and their homes are transformed into tourist accommodation facilities. This process is known as tourist gentrification and its consequences cannot be reversed. The objective of this paper is to analyze the present status of tourist development in the city of Zagreb as well as to try and anticipate the impact of tourism on the spatial and social transformation of the inner city of Zagreb.
